Not aware of any Invitation Only restaurants except perhaps the Captains Table.

Chef's Table, which is fabulous. It is held in the library, though it may be more $$$ than you want to pay. 7 course dinner and a kitchen tour and includes unlimited wine. So, if you are not a wine drinker, not worth the $$$.

For a while Carnival was testing a Fee-For-Steak on ships that didn't have a steak house, like the Carnival Ecstacy. Prime cut steak for a fee of $18 could be purchased in the main dining room. It is cheaper than the $30 steakhouse charge, but of course you don't have the atmosphere that you would in the steakhouse. I'm not sure if this is still an option but it did give you an opportunity to order a nice filet mignon instead of the flat iron steak.

The Prime Steak option is still available on some ships, but I don't think Ecstasy was one of them. The $75 Chef's Table option is available on all Carnival ships. Kind of steep, but it includes a number of courses and also wine.

We have done the Steak House a few time and it is worth the money. Just plan on 2 hours.

But the Steak House is not offered on the Ecstacy that the OP is inquiring about.
